    Ethos Integration is a work in progress. Some API's are still not available under this framework. However, it has the advantage of being an abstraction layer on top of the database, supports the publish-subscribe model. Since some Banner 9 modules still do not support the direct SAML2 connection, Ethos Identity (EIS Server) is a necessity for SSO.

    Flowgear has been exceptionally well suited to automate workflows allowing my product to interface with other products without the need for my team to develop these integration points. The ability to run workflows against multiple environments, in a secure manner, has facilitated rapid development of key client requirements and aided my team in delivering a quality solution.

    Cons
    Ellucian
    • Operational reporting: This does not replace or provide an easy platform for operational reports or warehousing. It would be nice if they provided a full stack.
    • Learning curve: Training and documentation are minimal.

    Part of our issues could be from the original set up, but also because the system does not allow flexibility.

    Support Rating

    Support from Ellucian for Ethos Integration was generally good. The help in building Ethos was adequate, and resolving issues were handled professionally. However, for Ethos Identity module, the support in building the cluster failover architecture was lacking. After over a month of open engagement, the issue still has not been resolved.

    Training material is excellent with in depth videos and material that are readily available and easy to understand. Materials are upgraded when new features are out. First time users do not find it difficult to follow and understand all modules. Tests are easily completed due to this. Overall training was great

    We have not used any other product similar to this, but for us, it made sense that the first product we tried was made by the company who developed our ERP system because they know the system inside/out. Solutions made by other companies that only look into documentation does not mean they would be able to create a product that could do such integration well.

    From a cost perspective, for what it provides and delivers compared to its rivals, its functionality is right up there. If you're looking to get started with a Saas platform, there really is no better tool than Flowgear.

    • Our ROI is nonexistent at this time as we are still implementing. However, the minimal cost signifies that it will be a significant help.
